Serious (Original Radio Mix)

WARNER:

We both know why we're here

I see it in your eyes

I guess it calms my fear

To know it's not a surprise

I thought one look at you

Looking like a dream come true

Would leave me speechless like you always do

But now we're wide awake

We've got some plans to make

Let's take some action, baby

So, baby, give me your hand

I've got some dreams to make true

I've got the future all planned

It's time to get serious

Time to get serious with you

ELLE:

I never thought that I-

WARNER:

(spoken) Uh, honey, I'm not finished.

ELLE:

(spoken) Oh, sorry!

WARNER:

Since I was two or three

ELLE:

Mmmm

WARNER:

My life was planned out neat

ELLE:

Mmmm

WARNER:

I'd get my law degree

ELLE:

Yeahh

WARNER:

And then win my senate seat

ELLE:

Mmmm

WARNER:

A big white house back east

ELLE:

Oh, ohh

WARNER:

All of the amenities

ELLE:

Yeahh

WARNER:

Three kids

BOTH:

At least, just like the Kennedys

WARNER:

Here's where our lives begin

ELLE:

Our lives begin

WARNER:

Just where do you fit in?

ELLE:

Fit me in!

WARNER:

I'll break it down now, baby

So, baby, give me your hand

ELLE:

Oo, whoaa, here's my hand, here's my hand

WARNER:

I've got some dreams to make true

ELLE:

We both have dreams to make true

WARNER:

I'll know that you'll understand

ELLE:

Oh yes, I understand

BOTH:

It's time to get serious

Time to get serious

WARNER:

ELLE:

Oh, oh

WARNER:

You want the moon and sky

Then take it, don't be shy

ELLE:

Heyy

WARNER:

Baby, that's why you and I

ELLE:

I, you and I

WARNER:

Should break up!

ELLE:

Hey, baby, I'll give you my hand, we-

(Spoken) WHAT?? You're breaking up with me?

I thought you were proposing!

WARNER:

(Spoken) Elle, if I'm gonna be a senator when I'm thirty,

I'm gonna need somebody

Serious

Less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie

Serious

Somebody classy and not too tacky

ELLE:

(Spoken) What?!

WARNER:

Okay, that came out wrong

ELLE:

(Sobs)

WARNER:

Baby, let's both be strong

ELLE:

(Sobs)

WARNER:

I mean, we've known all along

ELLE:

(Spoken) Just shut up! What does that mean, I'm not a Jackie?

I'm not serious? But I am seriously in love with you.

WARNER:

Baby, my future's all planned

I've got some dreams to make true

I thought that you'd understand

It's time to get serious

Time to get serious

(Spoken) Check, please.
